'Big three' attack Iran atomic plan

France, Britain and Germany circulated a toughly-worded draft UN resolution yesterday attacking Iran for its sluggish cooperation with the atomic energy watchdog.

It calls for continued inspections and urges "Iran to take all the necessary steps on an urgent basis to resolve all outstanding questions".

The draft does not mention reporting Iran to the security council for possible sanctions, which Washington says would be justified given Iran's 18-year cover-up of its uranium enrichment programme, capable of making material for atom bombs.

Still, western diplomats on the International Atomic Energy Agency board said most members would accept the text - including the US, which claims that Iran is developing nuclear arms.

Tehran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful.

Iranian officials were not available for comment, but its foreign ministry has said it had done everything necessary to clear up concerns.

The draft said the board "acknowledges Iranian cooperation", even including military sites, but "cooperation has not been complete, timely and proactive".

The text "deplores" Iran's decision to delay the IAEA's March inspection of sites connected with the advanced P-2 centrifuge project, which Iran had failed to mention in an October declaration it said was a full picture of its programme. The EU's "big three" also noted "with concern that the agency's investigations have revealed further omissions in declarations previously provided by Iran".
